This election study was conducted in four phases. The first three were fielded prior to the May 17, 1977, Knesset (Israeli parliament) election and the June 21, 1977, Histadrut (Israeli trade union) election, and the fourth was fielded as a post-election survey. The surveys examined voter stands on different parties and on national issues, such as security, peace, the electoral system, corruption, and Israel's economy. The pre-election surveys sought voter evaluations of the various party platforms and the parties' chances for election, while the post-election survey queried respondents for their reactions to the Likud Party's election and for their party choices. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political party, education, religion, marital/family status, observance of religious traditions, household income, social class membership, employment status, respondent's and respondent's father's place of birth, and characteristics of living conditions.Read more...

Abstract:

This election study was conducted in four phases. The first three were fielded prior to the May 17, 1977, Knesset (Israeli parliament) election and the June 21, 1977, Histadrut (Israeli trade union) election, and the fourth was fielded as a post-election survey. The surveys examined voter stands on different parties and on national issues, such as security, peace, the electoral system, corruption, and Israel's economy. The pre-election surveys sought voter evaluations of the various party platforms and the parties' chances for election, while the post-election survey queried respondents for their reactions to the Likud Party's election and for their party choices. Background information on respondents includes age, gender, political party, education, religion, marital/family status, observance of religious traditions, household income, social class membership, employment status, respondent's and respondent's father's place of birth, and characteristics of living conditions.
